Stardust
02:33
|
|||
|
In the empty space of time
Mother called unto Her
In Her hand was cosmic sand
In Her hand was Stardust
She whispered, "Air!" and softly there was stirring in the dark
She whispered, "Fire!" - the dust flew higher, stirring in the dark
She whispered, "Water!" and steam grew hotter, there was stirring in the dark
She whispered, "Earth!"
And Life began...
And Life began...

Mother's hands are teaching me
To dance and bend like a willow tree
Faces of the Goddess, one, two, three
Faces of the Goddess, looking at me!
The Crone holds the future in her hands
Wisdom flowing like crystal sand
Faces of the Goddess, one, two, three
Faces of the Goddess, looking at me!
Looking in the mirror - what do I see?
Goddesses' eyes smiling back at me!
Faces of the Goddess, one, two, three
Faces of the Goddess, looking at me!
Goddesses dancing round my heart
Merry do we meet and merrily part!
Goddesses dancing round my heart
Merry do we meet and merrily part!

When up She rises on a silvery rune
My heart starts dancing with my Sisters of the Moon
Deep in the forest or sitting in my room
My spirit's dancing with my Sisters of the Moon!
Time will dance to eternity's tune
The rising and the setting of our Mother, the Moon
When up She rises on a silvery rune
My heart starts dancing with my Sisters of the Moon
Deep in the forest or sitting in my room
My spirit's dancing with my Sisters of the Moon!
Raising a Circle from far and from near
Rising together in love and good cheer
When up She rises on a silvery rune
My heart starts dancing with my Sisters of the Moon
Deep in the forest or sitting in my room
My spirit's dancing with my Sisters of the Moon!
From dark to light, we gather as one
The spell is cast and magic's begun!
When up She rises on a silvery rune
My heart starts dancing with my Sisters of the Moon
Deep in the forest or sitting in my room
My spirit's dancing with my Sisters of the Moon!

Come the Greenman... Stay not apart!
Come the Greenman. Come, dance in our hearts!

She Walks In Wisdom
03:38
|
|||
|
She walks in wisdom As Her children's Mother
She sings the song of star and sky
She walks in beauty As the ages surround Her
The call of Spirit is Her cry
Dancing in the desert
Drumming in the thunder
Flowing in the moon filled tide
Dreaming in the ocean
Singing in the forest
Running in the wild mare's stride
She walks in wisdom As Her children's Mother
She sings the song of star and sky
She walks in beauty As the ages surround Her
The call of Spirit is Her cry
Hiding in the forest
Running down the mountain
Soaring in an eagle's flight
Falling in the raindrops
Changing in the seasons
Shining in the rainbow light
She walks in wisdom As Her children's Mother
She sings the song of star and sky
She walks in beauty As the ages surround Her
The call of Spirit is Her cry
Riding in the wind storm
Drifting in a snowfall
Budding in the springtime leaves
Peeking through the branches
Whispering Her secrets
As the Universe She weaves
She walks in wisdom As Her children's Mother
She sings the song of star and sky
She walks in beauty As the ages surround Her
The call of Spirit is Her cry
She walks in wisdom and She walks in beauty...

Viral Chant

|
When shall we all meet again
Heart to heart and hand to hand?
Through the dark and through the mist
Spirit joins in sacred tryst!
When shall we all meet again
Heart to heart and hand to hand?
Through the distance, through the danger
Strong our spirits. Love is no stranger.
When shall we all meet again
Heart to heart and hand to hand?
Through times of illness, times of sorrow
Our Circle sings a new tomorrow.
Apollo, Isis, Artemis
Heal our bodies and spirits
Brighid, Grannus, Erinle
Guide the healers hands, we pray!
When shall we all meet again
Heart to heart and hand to hand?

Many Days
02:29
|
|||
|
Life. Many days. Time. Many days.
Love. Many days. Time. Many days.
All of our days, so many days
So many ways, all of our days.
Life. Many days. Time. Many days.
Love. Many days. Time. Many days.
Time is a gift that we live every day.
Old men and young men and
Young girls and mothers, there's
Good folk and there's bad folk and the
Robbers and the ghosts from the past,
Life. Many days. Time. Many days.
Love. Many days. Time. Many days.
Time is a gift that we live every day.
Spoken Interlude
Time it's a fickle thing, pass us by and we don't even see.
Before you know it, you've lost your way,
The culmination of inaction for so many days.
So what you going to do with your time,
Hurry up and wait just to stand in line
Let the world's mysteries pass you by
When you could be present and let your spirit shine.
We only have one. We only got one life.
Think about it. Yo, what you gonna do with your time?
Life. Many days. Time. Many days.
Love. Many days. Time. Many days.
All of our days, so many days
So many ways, all of our days.
Life. Many days. Time. Many days.
Love. Many days. Time. Many days.

Deep peace, a soft white dove to you;
Deep peace, a quiet rain to you;
Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you!
Deep peace of the morning dew to you!

Deep Peace, Deep Peace to you.
Deep peace, pure red of the flame to you;
Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you;
Deep peace, pure brown of the earth to you;
Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you!
Deep peace I breathe into you,
Deep Peace, Deep Peace to you.
Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet night to you,
Deep peace of the sleeping stones to you!
Deep peace I breathe into you,
Deep Peace, Deep Peace to you.
Deep peace of the shining sun to you.
Deep peace of the glowing moon to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the Mother Earth to you,
Deep peace I breathe into you,
Deep Peace, Deep Peace to you.
Deep peace I breathe into you,
Deep Peace, Deep Peace to you.

Great Mother Lullaby
03:18
|
|||
|
Great Mother keep watch over me
Night birds are singing and I must sleep
Stay by my side. Guard every dream
Till the morning light wakens the world.
Velvet the darkness caresses the soul
Bright shining stars begin their song
Chasing away
Cares of the day
Singing of love and of dreams come true.
Great Mother keep watch over me
Night birds are singing and I must sleep
Stay by my side. Guard every dream
Till the morning light wakens the world.
Sorrow's a tune that is meant for the day
"Comfort and peace," whispers Night's own song
Moon rises high
Dream time is nigh
Worries and cares must fade away.
Great Mother keep watch over me
Night birds are singing and I must sleep
Stay by my side. Guard every dream
Till the morning light wakens the world.
Till the morning light wakens the world.
